I'm trying to connect an old HP desktop I have (running windows XP) to my home network, which uses WPA2 encryption. I'm pretty much a network noob so I have no idea what's going wrong. Right now it's stuck on "validating identity" when I try to connect to the network.
So far in my quest to solve this problem, I have:
1. Downloaded Service Pack 3.
2. Tried disabiling Authentication for the network.
From reading around forums I've learned that apparently after downloading Service Pack 3, I should be able to choose 'WPA2' as an option for "Network Authentication" on my Network's properties page. It still isn't showing up for me though.
Since my desktop can't connect to the internet, I couldn't download Service Pack 3 directly so I downloaded it on another computer, put it on a flash drive, and then uploaded it to the desktop. I'm not sure if this could be the problem or not, but if it makes a difference, I can verify on my Computer's properties page that I am running Service Pack 3.
My network adapter is a "Hawking Technologies HWP54G Wireless-G PCI Card". Is it possible that this card does not support WPA2? How do I tell? If it doesn't support WPA2, am I **** out of luck for trying to connect to my network without upgrading the card itself?
Why doesn't "WPA-2" show up as an option for my Network Authentication type?
My nexus 7 and my friends nexus phone are both running jellybean 4.1.1 and are unable to connect to our workplace's belkin wireless router. My nexus 7 says "authenticating" then says "network saved" then switches back to "authenticating". My friend's phone just gets stuck on "network saved". My iPhone and most other devices, including a different android phone, are in fact able to connect with no problems. I have tried resetting the router, but I am afraid that is all I will be able to do with regards to the router.
I have 3 computers running Windows and 1 running XP Pro.ISP is Charter. All these were connecting fine until Tuesday night storm came through. Power was out for a while due to a power pole being knocked down. Cable was on this same pole I think. Next day none of my computers could connect wireless.Used Ethernet cable direct to modem and finally got connection. To make a long story shorter, I find that now I can only connect unsecured or WEP. Can't connect using WPA2 at all.I wonder if it is possible that the ISP has blocked something to limit the speed?
WEP is only 54 MHZ WPA2 is upto 300MHZ
Tried 2 different Netgear routers with same results Currently configured for WEP shared

I have an old computer (xp circa 2005) and I would like to connect to my n router wich is using wpa2. The old computer doesn't seem to have wpa2 as an option, is there anything I can do?
Recently bought a laptop HP Pavilion DM4 with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit for use in a college wireless environment. The school insists on WPA2 Enterprise connection, which is supposedly the recommended Microsoft security protocol for Win 7. I have all the correct settings, such that I can routinely connect to the wireless network but on this model HP I consistently get speeds way under 10kbs, while if I use EXACT same settings on a different Lenovo, Dell, or other models of HP get speeds of over 5MG. Yes 500x faster.Of course HP wanted to blame the network, but after sending 2 technicians to visit on campus, they agreed it was their hardware, so they sent a replacement unit. Unfortunately, the replacement unit has the EXACT same problem. BTW the problem computers do connect flawlessly to other wifi networks at full speed, just not the WPA2 Enterprise network.
earlier today my modem died so I looked around and found an old modem (D-Link DSL-300T) lying around so I decided to use that one instead of purchasing a new one. It always worked great in the past, but when I tried it today I can only find a connection on this computer (garbage computer), the other 2 computers in my network can't connect to the internet, they can't even connect to the network at all. Oh and the router I'm using is a D-Link DIR-100. This computer is running windows XP, so is another one in the network and the one I want the connection to work on is running windows 7.
Just recently I have one of my computers connected to my router not able to access internet, while all the other ones can. I have a wireless and 2 LAN connection to my router 1 computer from the LAN connection works but I'm having trouble with the other one.When I connect my cable from the modem directly to the my computer internet works fine.I tried resetting Winsock didn't work. Tried changing my cable didn't work. Scanned for any viruses or malware none detected. Also I can ping my router with no problem, but when it comes to pinging google.com or any other website I get the message timed out and get 100% loss. [code]
I have a Airtel Internet Broadband connection and I have a lan having around 10 workstations. I have another computer which I want to use as a server through which all the internet traffic will pass. The server has two lan cards(one on motherboard and other one is usb).I have connected broadband modem to lancard1(on motherboard) and have connected the lancard2(usb) to the lan switch.Now how to proceed further, so that internet service is available on all the workstations connected to the lan switch.
I´m trying to connect them to my WLAN, for throubleshoot I create a new WLAN with WPA2-TKIP and a PSK, the devices didin´t connect to the WLAN.I also change the security to WPA2-AES with TKIP, it didn´t work too.
My best choice was to disable every security configuration in order to began the throubleshooting from zero, but even with no Layer 2 and 3 security, the devices didn´t connect to my Test WLAN.
I´m using a AIR-CT2504-K9 WLC with two AIR-CAP3502I-A-K9 AP, all the PCs and other brand cellphones and tablets work well.
Also I have a SOHO router on the office, and the IPad connect without a problem with that WLAN, but I need them to connect to my Cisco AP.
I am looking up setting a VPN using ASA 5505s so we can connect a mobile network of computers to our base network of computers. The base network has a static public IP address, but the mobile site will not. I was thinking of using a remote access VPN setup, but I am unsure if I can have a network of computers connecting in to the remote access VPN setup.
Trying to get my wife's older laptop to connect to our wireless network. The laptop is a HP pavillion zv5000 running windows XP sp3. The network adapter is a Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN. The router is a cisco linksys WRT54G2 V1.5. The security on the network is WPA2 using TKIP+AES encryption. I can't get it to connect to the wireless network. If I bump the security down to WEP it will connect just fine.
Is there anyway to have my wireless network secure on an WPA2? I am sharing with my landlords network. Everytime I try to create a 14 digit password it disables my connection. Does my landlord have to create a password or can I just do it myself?
I have bought B&N Nook color it is an e-reader. And it couldn't connect to my WiFi use the WEP so I changed my wireless setting to WPA/WPA2 now my e machine N-10 will not connect to the network.
At home I have router provided by my ISP, unfortunately it does not cover my entire house. I have Cisco AP 1131 and would like to run it as repeater for my existing wifi network. I tried to google it but could not find good tutorial how to setup Cisco AP as a repeater for WPA2 secured network.
I had assumed it was quite difficult or at least time consuming for anyone to break into a password protected WPA2-PSK encrypted wireless network. I'm still a novice or a learner when it comes to computer networking, so I realized this could be untrue.
Some days ago, my 9 year old nephew visited my parent's home where I had set up a WPA2-PSK encrypted network with what I know to be a strong password for both the router and the security phrase.
When I arrived back to my parent's home, I found out that my nephew was some how able to use the password encrypted network. There was no way he could have known the network password himself. I don't mind if my nephew uses our network, but it shows there are serious holes in the security of a WPA wireless network if he was able to bypass the password.
My parent's later told me that while I was away, my nephew was unable to connect to the network, and so used his cell phone and called his father (my brother-in-law). In just a short of time, my brother-in-law explained to my nephew how to bypass the password on our wireless network and use the internet. My parent's are not too happy about what happened and did not realize what my nephew and brother-in-law were doing at the time.
No matter what password is used to protect the network and no matter how complicated, my brother-in-law uses some type of technique to bypass them. And as demonstrated by the story above, he even uses his own children to bypass our network security.
I would greatly appreciate if some users could instruct me on how to better secure my parent's WPA-PSK2 network from this criminal to prevent the breaching from happening again. And if he was able to break through, then I'm guessing it really isn't too difficult for others to breach the security of a WPA-PSK2 network either.
So I have been tasked with setting up WPA2-Enterprise on the network. Right now for testing I have a single Cisco 1240AP, and a test Windows Domain. The Windows domain is at 2003 functional level, but has been extended to have the Wireless policies, and we have a 2008 DC in the test network also.
Is there any definitive guide to setting up a WPA2-Enterprise wireless network? Most of what I find is mostly client side. I am trying to get the Group Policy setup to push down to the client machines.
1. I have 1252 & 1142 AP's connected to the Wism (6.0.188.0 code) 2. FWSM I have a 4402 (6.0.188.0 ) appliance connected as my anchor. 3. ACS is ver 4.2
All of my wireless networks function as expected. I see the successful auth in ACS. I just built a new WPA2 network and set it up to use Splash screen redirect. It doesn't seem to matter what I do it just wont work. IE or Mozilla.Test 1 was to drop the users at the wism. There was no splash screen.There was no evidence of my url-redirect in the wireshark trace.Test 2 used the 4402 as my anchor point with the same results. In both cases the client was authenticated and was able to navigate the internet and other duties. The problem is apon opening the broswer there is no redirect.
My iPad cannot connect to my network wireless through WPA2 using router E4200 the way my Macbook is connected. Only using guest access i can get internet contact. Is this a known problem with this combination and/or is it meant to be, that only guest access gives an iPad connection?
I have a 5508 WLC and 40+ LAP1142N APs spread across 19 locations that allows staff to connect to our private network via wireless. I recently deployed about 40 new laptops all identical make and model HP ProBook 4530's and all have the same client setup for the wireless. Out of those 40 laptops I have 4 that will not connect to the private network. However, these same laptops will connect to my public, open wireless network without issue. In addition to the 4 that will not connect all the others will prompt twice for network authentication.Now, I have about 10 other laptops that are not the HP model and all connect without issue and without dual propt. I don't think this is a wireless network issue but could be some type of issue with this model of laptop.
connecting one computer to 10 others. In my office there are 11 computers, mine and 10 others. I was wondering what steps I would go about taking to ensure that while monitoring these computers, I could also if needed choose to close out of a program when I see it misused, or take control of it when necessary?
I've been having this problem off and on for about a week now. I fixed it last time by deleting a file in my /drivers/etc folder that was not supposed to be there (I don't remember what the file was called, but I googled it and found it was causing multiple people problems as well). In doing this I seem to have messed something up in my computer because now the problem is back.I can't connect to youtube.com on Firefox or IE. It does let me connect to m.youtube.com though. This is the only website I've encountered a problem with. Here are the results from cmd:[CODE]
I have an old laptop with an old wireless adapter that doesn't support WPA2. I have another laptop that does and is connect to a router. Can I hook up the old one directly to the new one to get on the internet (I want to use both computers at the same time) without connecting the old one directly to the router (because it is in another room)?
How, if possible, do i connect one pc( running on xp) via lan to another pc' internet.(on win7)I can't take off the IP cause my accounting program needs it.
I have this new problem, when I start my computer its connect fine to the internet, after a while its stop and lag after that but the modem is working fine and even with my laptop works also fine I've use HiJackThis and I got this:Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.4

So I have a wireless router downstairs in my house that usually reaches around the whole house. However as of a couple days ago, whenever I am upstairs I only get limited connectivity. It still detects my router, but I an exclamation point and I can't connect to the internet. However when I am downstairs I have a connection that actually works. This applies to multiple laptops, computers, phones, etc.
My computer has started connecting to the internet on startup, I do not want it to do this, the answer i have already seen on here for this does not work, so how can I stop this?
I recently was given an old computer from work. I tried to connect it to the internet at home but it wouldn't connect. The icon at the bottom shows that it is connected but the web browser shows that i'm not connected. All the computers at work are connected to a network so there may be some settings that won't allow it to connect at home. I did go on to internet options under connections and changed the default connection from the work network to broadband but still no luck. None of the proxy boxes were checked either. The OS on this computer is Windows XP. Also, all connections to my home internet are fine.
I have a touch screen packard bell comp and all of a sudden i cant connect at all to the wireless router yet we can connect to the router with ipod and phones, does this mean there is summat wrong with my computer? its only two months old
I'm sure that the modem/router is bridged which I think it means that it is sent to pass through the port number requests. What I did was go into my Linksys router, setup the port I want to forward to my 3389 (RDP port on the specific machine). Let's say port 45000. In the past, before Windstream took over and I had DSL with a local Telco, I would just enter my IP address and port number and I was in to the machine. Example: 171.234.54.191:45000 That would be the IP address of my modem (which just passed though the requests) to the router. Now when I do the same thing I just get an error message that looks like this: It seems that the modem/router is not passing though the request to the router. This is why I didn't want their new router/modem which the HAVE to charge $120 for worse quality machine than what I already had.
